Subject: [Masjid Tucson] Submission weekly reminder In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Peace be upon you, The first and most important commandment taught by all of God's messengers is to devote our lives and our worship absolutely to God alone. We see in the scriptures: Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is One God! Therefore you shall adore the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. [Deuteronomy 6:4-5, Mark 12:29-30, Quran 3:18] Lã Elãha Ellã Allãh: First Commandment [Quran 47:19] You shall know that: "There is no other god beside GOD,"* and ask forgiveness of your sins and the sins of all believing men and women. GOD is fully aware of your decisions and your ultimate destiny. *47:19 Significantly, the "First Pillar" of religion is stated in the sura entitled Muhammad, and is utterly devoted to God alone. Muhammad's name was added by his idolizers, against his will. Our purpose in life is to worship God alone (Quran 51:56). Satan and his constituents will do their utmost to take us away from worshiping God alone. While atheism and polytheism are well-known examples, the fact is that millions of those who think they are monotheists, e.g., Muslims, have lost this most important commandment. They simply cannot say: "Ash-hadu Allaa Elaaha Ellaa Allah" by itself, without mentioning the name of Muhammad. Since this is the religion of Abraham (Quran 2:130, 135; 3:95; 4:125; 6:161; 12:37-38; 16:123; 22:78; Appendix 9), the ONLY creed must be "LAA ELAAHA ELLAA ALLAH (there is no god except the One God)".
